Inverter GFI

[OffIslander]

New R-25. Right after delivery I couldn’t run HVAC, microwave or use any 110 VAC outlet. I wa told that the GFI ON THE INVERTER must have tripped and needs to be reset. Where, pray tell, is it located? I was told that it’s behind the electrical panel next to the big house, engine, parallel and thruster switches. Lying on one’s back sideways one can see a small cut out where we are supposed to run our hands up through some very scary wires to find - by feel - the GFI reset button. Goody! It took me around two dozen tries to do this. So, here’s my question for my fellow R-25 owners: Does this happen often? Has anyone installed an access cover
in the wood paneling to make this easier?

Solved. Sales Associate came and moved 110 volt plug to top outlet on the inverter and moved wires out of the way to enable me to use the bottom cutout to reach the GFi. There must be a better way, but this should work.

I had to reset the GFI the other day. Funny thing I noticed is that the inverter has to be powered on to do this.
